Yep: according to the "News 360", Ó Briain had died "in a tragic car crash" back in Dublin.
Eh? Credit: meganews360 "An Irish stand up-comedian and television presenter, Dara Ó Briain passed away early hours of this morning after the vehicle he was travelling with fell into a ravine along the Patrick Street in Dublin city centre after colliding with a government vehicle," reads the first paragraph of the story.

Well from the looks of "News 360", it appears to be one of a growing number of sites that generate fake news stories in what's presumably an attempt to target SEO traffic and local shares.
Searching the site name and the term "tragic car crash" brings up a number of similar stories, for instance.
